What's on your bucket list?

Are they small, achievable accomplishments? Or larger projects that need years of planning and saving?

I'm really looking for further inspiration for my own bucket list, currently on it is:

Attain my Karate black belt, then progress through the dan rankings.
Visit Vietnam
Learn fluent French
Go to the Monaco Grand Prix
Go to Wimbledon
See the Northern Lights
Go to Comic Con
Run the London marathon
Etc

I already know there's stuff on it that I'll probably never do, but I love making plans!

- go to salsa lessons
- take up pottery, I follow loads of potters on instagram and find it fascinating (I realise these first two make it seem like I'm trying to bag Patrick Swayze).
- take up whittling, nothing fancy just spoons and stuff
- see the northern lights we didn't manage to when we were in Iceland.
- go husky sledding
- see the bioluminescent beaches in the Maldives
- diving at the Great Barrier reef
- make a piece of nice jewelry at a workshop, starting with the raw materials
- we want to trek to Everest base camp together one day, but it takes 20 days so I imagine that'd be very, very far in the future or never.
- swim with sharks
- volunteer abroad

I feel very lucky that I've done a lot of the things I always wanted to do or see. If i never did anything more I'd be satisfied.
These are the main things I'm still keen to do, mainly 4 road trip routes remaining on my list that I haven't done yet:
Become fluent in makaton (new goal)
A trans Canadian road trip
A road trip from New England to the Appalachians
A road trip from Texas to Florida
A road trip in the Scottish Highlands

Drive the Going to the Sun road & Glacier NP in Montana as it was just out of reach in our last trip.

When I was younger I had one. It was very cliche. And I have done all bar the dive the great barrier reef. Since becoming a mom my priorities have changed. I now wish for my daughter to experience what I have. How ever a still have my own goals but they are very modest and much more short term.
